Deeping Connection through the Teen Years


For parents of preteens and teens

Overview



Teenagers crave independence—but they still need connection. This course will help you navigate the push-and-pull of adolescence while staying emotionally present and attuned to your teen. Through the lens of attachment theory, we’ll talk about how to guide, support, and stay connected without power struggles or disconnection.


Attachment theory isn’t just for babies—teens need secure connection too. When parents stay emotionally available, attuned, and steady, teens feel safe to take healthy risks, grow, and come back when life gets hard.
